"Martini" Print

"They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

The roaring twenties, when booze was illegal and dresses were flappy. We love this quotation from This Side of Paradise; it reminds us of the headlong intoxicated rush into mutual obsession - the kind of love that usually ends badly. Here, the flapper dress transforms into a martini glass as it is unzipped.
